Cable
Description
Composite video cable. When the video
adapter is connected to the projector, connect
this cable to send the video signal from a
component, such as a DVD player or VCR, to
the projector.
The video signal is carried through a single
video (yellow) connection.
The two additional connectors carry the left
(white) and right (red) channel audio signals.
S-Video cable. When the video adapter is
connected to the projector, use this cable to
connect a video component, such as a DVD
player or VCR, to the projector.
The video signal is split into two signals,
black-and-white and color. This type of cable
produces a better picture than the
single-connector from the composite video
cable.
This cable provides no audio output.
Component video cable. When the video
adapter is connected to the projector, use this
cable to connect a video component, such as
a progressive-scan DVD player or satellite dish,
to the projector.
The video signal is split into three signals, one
black-and-white and two color. This type cable
provides the best possible picture.
This cable provides no audio output.

Maintaining the projector
Cleaning the projector
Keeping the projector clean and the vents free from dust helps keep it
performing at its best.
Warning
Make sure that the projector is off, power is disconnected,
and the lamp is completely cool (minimum of 30 minutes)
before cleaning the projector.
Cleaning the exterior
Always turn off the projector and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the projector case. Do not use abrasive or
solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish.
The projector is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep
the vents free of dust. With the projector turned off and unplugged, brush the
dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water
into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside the projector.
Cleaning the projector lens
Always turn off the projector and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to clean the projector lens. Squirt a little
cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the lens), and wipe the lens with the
cloth.
Keep the lens cap on when the projector is not being used to protect the lens.

Setting up the projector
■
Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you
operate the projector. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.
■
Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
■
Set up the projector on a stable work surface.
■
The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.
■
If the projector is connected to a computer, make sure that the voltage selector switch is in the
proper position for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct
voltage.
■
Openings in the projector case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these
openings. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the projector
for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the
ventilation openings.
■
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is
properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will fit only into a grounding-type outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician
to install the appropriate outlet.

products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
■
If the projector is connected to a product fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card,
make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.

Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
■
Do not spill anything on the projector. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and
drinking near the projector.
